The Republic of Taylor Swift Lands is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 436 million Swifties are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taylor Swift City. The average income tax rate is 9.6%.

The all-consuming Swiftie economy, worth 37.6 trillion Eras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 86,260 Eras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, parole board directors light up a joint before telling hash-brownie baking grannies that they have to stay behind bars, and sex-ed is child's play. Crime is well under control. Taylor Swift Lands's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Taylor Swift Lands is ranked 74,184^th in the world and 2,088^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 104.28 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
